C2 Education reviews

-The schedule is variable and your hours may change at the last minute. I've often showed up, having checked the schedule the afternoon before I'm supposed to work, and found that management changed the schedule late the night before. -The 3-1 student-teacher ratio can be incredibly difficult to manage. You may be bouncing between three different subjects at three very different levels, with all three students needing more 1-on-1 time and not receiving the attention they need. -Doesn't pay for prep time nor some parts of training. New SAT training required completion of all New SAT workbooks within 25 paid hours, which was not nearly enough time to finish them. Teachers were expected to finish the workbooks on their own time, unpaid. -The non-competitive clause may severely restrict your career options after you leave the company - unless you're in California, in which case they still have you sign the clause even though doing so is illegal on their part. -Very little communication between management and teachers. It is difficult to know what you are doing well and what you should receive more training for, and the only way this is communicated is by seeing your hours suddenly cut short. -A lot of kids just don't want to be there, or shouldn't be there. Kids come into the tutoring center sick, or severely sleep deprived, and are unable to get any work done, and it ends up reflecting poorly on the teacher since they have nothing to show for the 2 hours of instruction. Others have behavioral or attention issues which go unaddressed, and parents insist they work on a subject level much higher than they are able to achieve. -Management is constantly in conferences with parents or busy, and there are no opportunities for teachers to really sit down with them and discuss not only the teacher's needs, but the students' needs. Teachers fill out very brief "conference sheets" on student progress, but do not know if these needs are ever communicated to the parents, nor to what effect.

Being the one of the two only staffs (the other one is the center director, which means you are basically doing everything) at a company that always prioritize sales/budget, you have to do things that are sometimes random and degrading (have been asked to clean the toilet once). After a while, you just felt like this place does not worth your time and effort anymore. Management is just terrible. No work/life balance, weird hours, no consecutive time off, hard to take ANY time off (again, due to poor management; managers only care about center performance/profits, but pay no attention to staff's well-being)
